For my mixed media creation, I first stamped (Penny Black 30-215 Garden Blooms) and colored my inner bezel paper using PITT® Artist Pens. Once this was adhered, I added Ice Resin Medium and Relique Tarnished Bronze powder to the outer edges of my bezel. I used my heat gun to melt the powder. Then I added Gesso and Gelatos® (Snow Cone, Lemon, and Butterscotch) to the edges. Finally, I added the resin to the interior of the bezel and allowed it to dry overnight.

To create my "plaque" I simply added lots of washi tape and Gelatos® to the wooden, precut board (uber-cheap at my local craft store), blending with my fingers as I went. I also added a touch of Gesso to brighten things up. Finally, I embellished with twine and added my bezel to the"plaque" using dimensional adhesive.

The blog hop projects will end on Friday but you have until midnight Eastern time on Sunday, May 18 to post a comment. Winners will be announced Monday, May 19. Two winners will win a Designing with Gelatos kit OR a prize pack from Ice Resin (a Resin Plunger, a Bezel, Medium and a Relique).

HOP, HOP, HOP

Thank you for sharing this project. Looks amazing. I have always wanted to try resins and went as far as getting a wonderful book and CD but have not yet opened it. :( It looks like so much fine and to actually have the opportunity to win such a lovely package, really makes me smile :) Thanks again. Keep Calm and Create Art!

Oh my goodness Jill, this is such a stunning piece! I'm SO thrilled to see that you've received some wonderful Ice Resin to create with--I knew it would be something incredibly inspiring and I was right!!! I love my Gelatos but yet to have had the opportunity to work with Ice Resin but I want to sooo bad! And your fabulous creation increases my desire even more! Thanks for sharing your beautiful work today! I love it!

I have played with Ice Resin a little and love it already. Adding the bezel to a wood plaque was a fabulous idea. I love the look of the Gelatos on the bezel itself, did you have to seal it with anything?

Jill, this is SO AMAZING! I'm very exited to see Ice Resin in your beautiful creation! I never used Ice Resin and Gelatos in my projects and it's so sad to say that never saw it in our russian shops in Novorossiysk city. I love to draw since I was three years old, then I finished the school of art and now I want to explore the wonderful world of Faber-Castell!!! I feel that it can be really amazing to use such cool products in my new creations! It's like a breath of fresh air and I'm DREAMING SO MUCH of it!!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful work! :)~Olga Kovalchuk

OH Jill, This is just a "Beauty To Behold" How Super Amazing It Is. I am just Starting out with Gelatos, but would love to try Making something which Includes the Ice Resin as Well. I have Never Used that Product before. I Loved Your Color Choices too. Just Beautiful...
